jsla - nice panorama looks like you got used to that camera pretty quickly. I particularly like the cheeky way you included the two people at the extreme edges. Not something I would have thought of but in this case I think it adds a defininate curiosity value & gets the eye scouring the image to see what else is there.
eastbluffs - if you were refering to my Grand Canyon shot the lense is the standard Panasonic one on the FZ20 no additions at all. The original image came out rather flat & hazy so I was a little dissapointed to be honest & regretted not having any filters. However, I had a rare moment with photoshop & just did an auto level adjustment to see what would happen & bingo. Probably a bit too much contrast & also when it is blown up full screen it gets a bit noisy but I liked it so much I have it as my desktop background now. So photoshop was the only trick I suppose, really I just got lucky. I can post the original if you want to see the transformation.
Oh & yes it was winter George if you count Easter this year as winter in the GC. It was just on the edge of spring I guess if the green desert with wild flowers was anything to go by. Just my luck, I travel to a desert from the UK & what do I see . Seriously fantastic holiday though .
Around every picture there's a corner & round every corner there's a picture
- the fun's in finding them

It was a very wet winter in Arizona, and the desert and the flora went crazy. Glad you were here to see it.
Winter ends around mid May up there.

Here is a shot of Indian Beach on the Oregon Coast from Monday.
Very nice area up around Seaside. Been there several times and I have a very good freind, and photography mentor, who moved from Lake Oswego to the Seaside area about a year ago as most of the weddings he shoots are on the coast.
I always look forward to going back. Thanks for the shot.
